You will have sometimes seen professional singers cup their ears while singing so as to hear themselves better. HearFones do the job for you enabling you to hear your own voice more clearly. Perfect for improving your pitch.

HearFones look a little like large plastic headphones which are angled towards your mouth so reflecting your voice directly to your ears. Like this you hear what you really sound like - and what your audience hears.

Withour HearFones you are listening to the reflections of your singing in the room. Your voice will also be much loader than any other vocalists or musicians you are singing with - like asking for more of yourself in your foldback monitors.

You should find that your singing improves as a result of using HearFones. Being able to hear yourself clearly means that you are a lot more aware of being out of tune or having poor tone. The inventors of HearFones, teachers and singers themselves found that time after time every singer sang better just by putting on HearFones. HearFones focus the singer's attention on his or her own voice, often for the first time.

With a musical director or vocal coach, the singer can be shown the appropriate sound to sing, then, with HearFones, the singer duplicates the director's sound, to reproduce the instructor's example. After singing good sounds using the HearFones, the singer knows how it feels to sing this way and, in time, will be able to duplicate the sound without the help of the HearFones.

There is nothing in the use of HearFones that violates any recognized good singing practices. HearFones also find many uses in the fields of speech and language therapy.

HearFones can be adjusted for fit by sliding the sound guides up or down in the headbank slots. The cushions should surround your ears, with the forward sound guide tips near your mouth to provide the greatest volume. Tilting the tips down a bit will reduce the strength of feedback. They come with a free booklet "Singing Secrets" which gives some simple steps needed to produce a better individual sound.
